Shampoo

“I love Hal Ashby. I was so excited to work with him because of Shampoo. This film, with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie was like heaven in it. And, of course, Goldie’s always great. She’s divine. Also about Shampoo, because Hal Ashby loved to cut with music, because he was first an editor, and he was so extraordinary cutting music. And it’s the best soundtrack too. I love it. Just the ’70s, this time in LA, you know, places that… doesn’t even look– they don’t exist anymore.”

“You’ve seen Shampoo, I assume? No. You’ve never seen Shampoo? No. As a bald man, I just don’t want to... It was too painful. Hal Ashby movie. One of the best of all time. Now I’m sold. I’ll wear a wig and watch it.”

“Shampoo. I love this movie. Again, also has to do with the business, I guess. But LA really hasn’t changed. Like, at all. Los Angeles has not changed. Hollywood hasn’t changed. I mean, you have this and this, and you see how times change, but people don’t change. And I feel like this movie really represents that. And the three of them are just… their chemistry’s incredible. So, Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn, and Julie Christie’s amazing.”

“Oh, this. Shampoo, which is just such a moment in time. They’re all so… attractive. And it’s funny. And it also is a sort of… again, there is a weirdly feminist bent to this, in that, you know, even though he’s this Lothario, no one wants him in the end. And it’s Hal Ashby, so… That is something that’s part of my growing up in watching movies.”

“Let's talk about Shampoo which oh my God what baby are you kidding? Hal Ashby directed this, written by the great Robert Towne.”

“Shampoo. I picked this right away. When Laura and I both went to Berkeley, there was one costume design class. One of our first assignments was to pick a Shakespeare play but then put it in a different context, and I remember that the idea that I had was to do it as if it was all characters in Shampoo, which was interesting because we did go on to do some costume design work with fashion designers. So I picked this movie.”

“Shampoo because everybody in the cast hit it out of the park.”
